...VALUING PROCESS
This first layer of conscience, the “valuing process”, can be perceived as the outer shell from its basic and common decisions in the daily life, which anyone can see it with a little observation. This layer acts initially as an “interface receiver of information”.
As detailed below in figure 1, any logical mental process [2] is paused or abruptly terminated when we fail to control feelings and desires in the moment by sensations on our physical body [3]. This “break” event potentially obstructs any higher project or life aspiration decisions made before, as we refer here as spirituality [1]. The same could be said about mental processes filtering our experience of the spiritual, but we will deal with this concept later.
On the “value process”, the work of Carl Rogers was used as foundation for perceiving this unit, as he describes infant valuing in proximity to “do what you fell like doing” disregarding consequences with anything related to conscious decisions [2]. This mirror the way infants responds mostly by the internal readings of their organisms, as he noted in his experiments.
As a child grows up intellectually, she diminishes this primitive animalistic behavior [3] in exchange for a well social reception and the love of her parents. But be aware: this apparently “mental breakthrough” from childhood comes with a serious catch in the form of introjections from a beneficial...

Everest College of Dallas

Performance Management is the process of creating a work environment in which people can perform to the best of their abilities in order to meet company goals. It is an entire work system that emanates from a company’s goals. The expectation of the company as follow are (1) The essential job functions the employee is expected to do (2) How the employee’s job contributes to the goals of the organization (3) What “doing the job well” means in concrete terms, (4) How employee and supervisor will work together to sustain, improve, or build on existing employee performance, (5) How job performance will be measured,(6) Identifying barriers to performance and removing them. (Donald L. Caruth, 2013) (Bohlander, 2010,2013) (Bohlander, 2010,2013)
Effective Performance Management is provided through the implementation of a comprehensive program with guidelines, methods, strategic and tools for managers to utilize in performing these functions. What is Performance Appraisals? It is the obligation to employee to let them know how they are doing. Performance Appraisals are part of an organization’s measurement process.

...The operating system that I have chosen is a particular service operation: the realisation of a music concert. As every other organisation that produce goods or services, it has a precise operating system, composed by a range of inputs, a transformation process and a final output.
INPUTS - We must distinguish between two different kind of resources: transformed resources, that are the resources treated and transformed in some way, and transforming resources, that are the resources that act upon the transformed resources.
The transformed resources are usually materials, information and customers; very often one of these is dominant. A concert, like many other service operation, is predominantly a customer processing operation. The main task of the musicians, and therefore also of the organisers, is to process audience in a way in which satisfies their public, maximising their enjoyment. There is of course a very high contact between audience and operation; in fact a concert is a typical example of an operation in which satisfaction is measured by customers perceptions, that are subjective. That means that is quite difficult to measure and control them. So, for example, the administrators of a music hall, following the music market sales, should try to have as a guest only the most successful musicians of the moment.
The other transformed resources, together with audience, is the building converted or arranged for the concert. It can be a music...

It is a form of problem solving. The nursing process is made up of a series of stages that are used to achieve the objective - the health improvement of the patient.

During the process, nurses use this knowledge to identify problems and changes that are occurring to the patient. Caring for a patient requires the nurse to communicate with the patient to determine how they are feeling and gain the results of implemented care from the patient.

Process evaluation
The characteristics of the process evaluation method are documentation and monitoring of program planning, implementation, and interrelationship of components of the proposed project. The process evaluation method uses qualitative and quantitative measures to check the effectiveness of the program benefits. This method of evaluation documents the appropriateness and acceptability of the program, within the target community. The three main components of the process evaluation are program planning, program interventions, and data-base management systems to achieve these aims (Martin. L.). Staff questionnaires are used in collecting evaluation data for scheduling, planning, development, the appropriateness curriculum, organizational administration, execution, and community and collaboration roles. Wherever the process shows to be ineffective and /or inefficient this lets modifications to be made. Process evaluation gets community and client satisfaction data to use in the process of the...
